Sixth placed De Puniet reviews American visit

Randy de Puniet - Sixth

`After our worst Friday since the beginning of the season we finally gained a very positive result. We struggled a bit with rear grip over the last two days but at the end the bike set-up was good and I was able to race as I like. My start was not perfect but I knew I had the potential to race up there. I was behind (James) Toseland for many laps and tried to pass him three times without success. On lap twelve I passed him pushing to close the gap with (Andrea) Dovizioso and (Nicky) Hayden. I was not able to pass them so I decided to keep my position to get this positive result for me and the team.´
